According to JHMR president Jerry Blann, skiers “have notseen prices this low in well over two decades.” This seems a wise development in accessibility; as the fullmountain pass price had inched its way up to just under $2,000, many localsbought 10 or 20 day passes or skipped it altogether and joined the super fitcrowd of replica IWC 3736-04 Ladie's watchbackcountry ski tourers and mountaineers. With the price reduction comes a name change; the MountainPass is now the Grand Pass,and if you move to Jackson Hole and ski every day of the season, you canactually ski for around $10 a day.

Which is quite a steal.The$1,255 price tag, and other early season pass prices are in effect until August31st.Admittedly, that number still may seem steep, but the product is a quality one-and at least this way, you might have some money left over to tryto blend in, and buy the local (runaway) favorite après cocktail…a nice, cold16 oz. Pabst Blue Ribbon. Seriously.Apparently, living and skiing here is fancy enough….
